Excerpt from A Tramp's Sketches This book was written chiefly whilst tramping along the Caucasian and Crimean shores of the Black Sea, and on a pilgrimage with Russian peasants to Jerusalem. Most of it was written in the open air, sitting on logs in the pine forests or on bridges over mountain streams, by the side of my morning fire or on the sea sand after the morning dip. It is not so much a book about Russia as about the tramp. It is the life of the wanderer and seeker, the walking hermit, the rebel against modern conditions and commercialism who has gone out into the wilderness.

Excerpt from A California Tramp and Later Footprints, or Life on the Plains and in the Golden State Thirty Years Ago: With Miscellaneous Sketches in Prose and Verse As for the Later Footprints following A California Tramp, I will only say that among the prose sketches the article on John Burns should be worth attention as far as it furnishes facts proving the old man was a real militant in the Battle of Gettysburg; and as to those in rhyme, simply state that some of them had the questionable fame of newspaper republication.

Excerpt from A Day at Laguerre's and Other Days: Being Nine Sketches The villainy, strange to say, has only served to open my eyes the wider and my heart too for that matter - and to bring me closer to many fellow tramps who have delighted my soul, and still do. Idle tramps if you will, who love the sunlight and simple fare and simple ways; ne'er-do-wells, who haunt the cafes and breakfast at twelve; vagrants made millionaires by a melon and a ci garette; mendicants who own a donkey and a pair of panniers, have three feast days a week, earn but half a handful of Copper coin, and sing all day for the very joy of living.

Discover the romance of tramp art, folk art made made from discarded wooden cigar boxes, layer upon layer, one notch at a time, by untrained artists using simple tools and recycled materials. Tramp art crafters representing over 40 nationalities carved tramp art in America. It was also practiced throughout the world wherever cigars were smoked. These artists transformed the discarded boxes into pieces of utility and wonder. Never before has the subject been studied in such depth. Over 600 color photographs document 100s of items, ranging from picture frames and mirrors, to boxes, bureaus, and fantasy pieces. The designs and colors reflect a naive sensibility and aesthetic that is at once charming and beautiful. Here is a rich assemblage of the history of the art form and a thorough the study of the artists' lives and work. Misguided romantic mythologies long associated with tramp art are dispelled to leave an accurate picture of these noble notchers. A foreword by award-winning author and art historian Barbara Goldsmith sets the stage, and the pages that follow both celebrate the art and deepen our understanding of its roots and practitioners. This book will be treasured by folk art lovers everywhere.
